Experience History

For three summers, I have worked at a primary school holiday camp, supervising groups of children throughout full days of activities. I have also worked as a primary-school teaching assistant, supporting children both individually and within the classroom. I have also volunteered with nursery and reception-aged children, helping with play-based learning, classroom routines and age-appropriate activities. These experiences have given me an understanding of how children’s needs, communication styles and levels of independence vary considerably depending on their age and development. Alongside this, I have worked as a children’s swimming assistant, helping to teach and support children up to the age of 12. My lifeguarding experience has further strengthened my safeguarding awareness, vigilance and ability to remain calm and responsible in busy environments. I understand the importance of, anticipating risks, following emergency procedures and ensuring that children remain safe without preventing them from having fun. I am confident caring for multiple children at once and creating a structured, enjoyable and supportive environment. I am comfortable leading activities, supervising mealtimes, supporting children with changing and outdoor clothing, managing routines, responding to minor injuries or upset, and communicating clearly with parents and colleagues. While I am continuing to develop my formal childcare qualifications, I bring several years of practical experience, strong safeguarding awareness and a genuine enthusiasm for working with children. I am reliable, energetic and attentive, and I take pride in ensuring that children feel safe, included and excited about the activities they are taking part in.

References

Thank you for your message. I am delighted to provide a reference for Savannah. I have known her for 6 -7 years in a professional capacity. Savannah began looking after my three daughters when they were ages 4, 6 and 9 years and soon became their favourite babysitter. She then became their nanny during all the school holidays, half terms, Easter, Summer and Christmas. To this day I know her to be reliable, punctual, highly organised and trustworthy. She plans their days with fun filled activities in the holidays, prepares healthy meals and also helps with their homework and hearing them read. I have come to rely on her as my right hand girl. Nothing is ever too much to ask and she has saved the day many a time. Savannah has been skiing with our family twice. She has taken the girls to ski school, prepared them with all they need for the mornings, kitted them up and never lost even a mitten! In the afternoons, she took them sledging, ice skating, swimming and playing in the snow. She has stayed with us and is wonderful. She remains professional at all times, although she is like a member of the family to me and my girls. I recommend her highly. At our local primary school, she has also helped children in classes and camps and I know they have offered to fund her to complete her Level 3 in Childcare and Education. She is a born Mary Poppins and a natural with children of all ages. I recommend her to a ski family as the children would be her number one priority. She would ensure their holiday was seamless with every detail taken care of. She is warm, friendly, competent, engaging and compassionate. Her behaviour management skills are excellent and she is well respected by my children, their friends and neighbouring families, always in demand. Please contact me if you have any further questions as I think Savannah would be an asset to your team. Many thanks, Chanel.
